New 5Q: Joe Bob Briggs

I haven't run a "5 Questions With..." feature in a while, but I couldn't resist asking a few questions of Joe Bob Briggs around the time that he and I met to discuss sex in '70s cinema. The questions I had for him about his new book, Profundly Erotic: Sexy Movies That Changed History, reach well beyond that narrow focus, though.

Here are some other recent interviews you might enjoy:

• Rachel Kramer Bussel speaks to close personal friend Will Leitch about his debut YA novel, Catch.
  
• TomPeters.com runs occasional interviews with "cool friends," usually because they've got new books out. Recent chatters have included Eamonn Kelly of the Global Business Network and Ray Kurzweil, each addressing in their own way the fact that the future is so bright, one must wear shades.
  
• It ran a while ago, but I'm always pleased to stumble onto an interview with George Saunders, one of my favorite short story writers.
